You know what, a lot of cars in the rice thread get trophies.
The bar hasn't been raised, it's been dropped low. As opposed to spending time and money setting up a car for performance, you have 20 yr-olds indiscriminately slapping on all-show-no-go parts on their car, with the illusion of going fast. Really, what did you do that was unique? Put on a body kit like the rest of the people do? New rims? Hood? People have been slapping that stuff on cars for years.
So are your really doing something different? As though noone else slaps on drag-inducing chunks of plastic on their car at those shows? Since you seem fond of trashing lips, you know some lips actually--gasp--provide aerodynamic benefits. And yes, ebay headlights are very unique--just like all the other "show cars" that have $150 ebay headlights.
Unique would be putting in a Chaparral blower. Unique is not doing what every other "show car" does.
